“The real question is, when will we draft an artificial intelligence bill of rights? What will that consist of? And who will get to decide that?” —Gray Scott
Gray Scott’s comment aside, there are more pressing issues than a robot bill of rights. Artificial intelligence development is progressing at an ever accelerating rate, and bringing with it questions of privacy, unemployment, and potential malevolent uses of the technology. In this edition of the Seeking Delphi™ podcast, I talk with author John C. Havens about these issues. He’s executive director of the IEEE Global Initiative for Ethical Considerations In Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems.

Seeking Delphi™: Podcase Episode #16, Options For Future Human Evolution

“If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?”–Milton Berle
“There are no shortcuts in evolution.”–Louis Brandeis
Milton Berle was simply funny; Louis Brandeis is about to be proven wrong. Humanity is on the cusp of a new era, full of promise and peril. We are on the verge of directing our own evolution, and when that comes, it will come at a breakneck pace. Breakthroughs in biotech and info-tech are rapidly hurtling us towards an age of self-directed evolution. It will be change by choice, not by chance. What are those choices, and how will we deal with them? How will it change what it means to be human? That is the subject of a forthcoming book by futurist Linda
Groff, who joins me as my guest on this episode of Seeking Delphi.™
